I am a professional trumpet player, composer of both jazz and classical pieces for small and large ensembles alike and a teacher.
I am leader/initiator of two trio's: Trio Bert Lochs and Lochs/Balthaus/Herskedal and I play in the Guus Tangelder Bigband, Pieter Basts E.S.P and the Jasper Somsen Group. With my trio's I made some very well received CD's and I played at the North Sea Jazz Festival and a lot of Dutch and German venues.
I teach at home and at the music school of Alphen a/d Rijn. One of my main skills is teaching the Balanced Embouchure method. A method of trumpet pedagogue Jeff Smiley. I discovered it in 2002 and it helped me play a LOT better, and it completely turned around my view of how to play and teach the trumpet.
Yes, isn't it? Are you a teacher yourself? And have you seen the other little stories already? I have to have a bit more time, they seem very funny, too.
hilarious!
